Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa provides funding for programmes or projects delivering play, active recreation, and sport experiences for tamariki (aged 5-11) rangatahi (aged 12-18), and young women (aged 19 – 24). These may be new or already operating. The funding is focused on groups that are less active.
These groups include:
Children and young people in higher deprivation communities
Girls and young women (aged 19 – 24)
Disabled children and young people (aged 5 – 18 years)
Children and young people in rurally isolated communities
Simple questions to ask
Will the funding you are requesting get young people active?
How do you know there is a need? (What evidence do you have? Who have you spoken to? What barriers to participation are you removing?)
Are you targeting young people who are missing out?
Schools/kura are eligible to apply for Tū Manawa funding. We want to ensure Tū Manawa funding does not replace curriculum delivery, or cause confusion about the roles and responsibilities of teachers/kaiako and external providers. For that reason, when planned activities involve external providers other than school personnel and occur during class time, there is an additional step in the application process.
This involves a discussion between the school/kura and the external provider about the planned activity. The In-school/kura setting form has been created to guide this discussion.

Please be clear on what all parties are trying to achieve, and consider how the project supports building relationships, making use of local and community resources and connections and ultimately ensuring better outcomes for students and their learning.
You do not need to complete this form for projects that occur within a school/kura either before or after school, during lunchtime and breaks, or for applications that only involve school personnel.
Please click the button below to complete this form and upload it to your application when applying.
